| New Nano!!! A couple months ago, I bought a canary blenny, and it died a few days later which was the beginning of the string of over $100 worth of livestick dieoff, luckily nothing that I had for over 3 months, so I wasn't too emotionally attached. Anyways a couple weeks ago, I re setup my 2.5 nano to try and keep my mind off the huge loss, and to keep me from messing with my 50 too much. But the 2.5 again was starting to have probelms with too much flow, and too much detrius coming from nowhere, so I took a trip to petsmart and bought one of those $29.99 5 gallon acrylic flat back hex kits to put in its place. I also bought 5#'s of new rock for it, cause the rock in the 2.5 was fugly (I need to get one more small peice of LR, but I nabbed the last 4 small ones the LFS had) I decided to go BB with this one too, hoping it goes better. For the lighting, I managed to strip and retrofit the 2x9w coralife fixture perfectly replacing the yellow T5 bulb. The tank kit also came with a tetra internal power filter that I took apart to find it was run by a tiny powerhead that I now use to move detrius out of the back.
Right now, I am using the new tank to "quarentine" the latest purchase for the 50, 2 blue chromis and 1 greenish blue chromis.
Here are the pics  Those aren't scratches btw, they're just air bubbles.
